GVA instructed to market London's iconic Gherkin

Leading real estate adviser, GVA has been appointed by Swiss RE as joint adviser to market c. 85,000 sq ft of office space at 30 St Mary Axe.

A strong addition to its portfolio of trophy assets, GVA will work alongside Gerald Eve to market floors 10-13 and 15 at a price of around £69.50 per sq ft, following refurbishment of the space.

Based in London's primary financial district, 30 St Mary Axe is by far one of London's most distinctive buildings and is home to a host of other financial and professional services firms including US law firm Kirkland and Ellis, and financial technology company ION Trading. Global reinsurer Swiss Re remains the Gherkin's largest tenant.

GVA's Head of Transactions and Capital Markets, Neil Dovey, said: "This is unquestionably one of the world's most recognisable buildings, and one that has become synonymous with the City of London. We look forward working with Gerald Eve on securing suitable tenants for our client."
